The very first thing I noticed is its unbelievable balance. The blade has a nice thickness to it from bolster to near the tip, and it feels very solid, yet its *SO LIGHT*!!

I swung it a few times. Only slightly heavier than a rattan stick, nearly as maneuverable but with a much higher potential for causing damage. In other words, its incredible!

Not only do I know what present Kobra owners know, I am also now part of the Kobra Klub and a very happy new member too.

Bura made it and his very high degree of skill shows on this blade and is symbolized by his mark, the crescent moon, which is stamped on the left side near the bolster.

The wood is the same as that of the King Kobra, but I dont know what it is. Is it saatisal?

The buttcap is secured with three studs and there is no 'bite' or 'overhang' to it at all.

Scabbard is well made. The chakma and karda are decent and wholly functional as well.

The final grade of this knife? 12 stars out of 10. I love it. Period.
